U.S. economy can be said as one of the influential economic system in the world. United States is a super power in the world. Post-war world II, the United States became the only country in the world that has a great strength in any field. One area of the economy is the world axis.
Yes, the U.S. economy into the economic reference in other countries, both developed and developing countries. This can be seen with the value of the dollar which has always been a benchmark for the value of currencies in other countries.
It could be said that the post-war world II, the United States economic control of the entire economy of the countries in the world. Companies without exception. All countries in the world seemed to obey and comply with regulations of the U.S. economy.
U.S. Economic System deminate World
Economics is the main support for the establishment of a state. With the weak economy will make the situation in the country had become unmanageable. The impact of business and business in a sluggish real sector so that unemployment will increase, crime will go up and social life will be more complicated. For example, when the monetary crisis hit Indonesia today. The economic crisis is making many people feel tremendous economic crush. What is its impact on the country? Yes of course the negative effects received for a failed state in running the economy well.
United States became a superpower to rival the greatness of the Soviet Union due to the strong economic system. In the history of the world we find that the United States does not concentrate on the various foreign occupations before World War I. American political system before World War I is a political force, which meant that the United States does not overly interfere in inter-state relations issues. United States instead concentrate on building the domestic economy by enabling the development sector of the real economy at a time when the major countries when it spends money on war.
Sweet results obtained by the United States, when all the major powers after World War I ran out of money or the economy is weakening the United States it appears as a powerful state in the economy. And the effect is the United States able to subdue the developed countries like UK, France, and Germany under its domination. With emerging as a new force that has a great economic power, the United States further compete with the Soviet Union to win the ideological struggle. United States carries the ideology of democracy as master to influence other states to side. While the Soviet Union tried to spread socialist ideology or what is known as communism.
But in a battle of two superpowers was won by the United States with its allies. The Soviet Union officially dissolved as a state in 1991. With the collapse of the empire of the Soviet Union left the U.S. as the only superpower capable of grasping the world. Countries in the world are forced to be smooth and hard to follow the subject while the U.S. force in regulating domestic governance and foreign relations. Slowly now Indonesia became unwitting imitator United States that carries the capitalist economic system.
Yet when we look at the idea of our founding fathers, Indonesia's economic system is an economic system that promotes democratic mutual aid. But that idea evaporated without a trace at the moment. Mimicking the U.S. economic system means that we have adopted freedom of economy. That person is free to have a business in the public sector and natural resources should belong to the state. Look at how a number of individuals and groups in Indonesia greedily seize natural resources belong to the people. How many oil fields, coal mines, water resources and other natural resources which is now owned by an individual or company. People bite the fingers to withstand hunger without realizing that this country is truly the richest country in the world.
U.S. Economic System Capitalist
initially, there are two systems which control the world economy, the socialist economic system fronted by Russia and the capitalist economic system, initiated by the United States. However, the post-war world II U.S. capitalist economy, the only economy that rules the world.
Capitalist economic system fronted by the United States focusing on capital, that is, in this world modal which has an important role in the economy of a least developed country. Capitalist economic system is also likely to favor the weak.
And consciously or not the United States economic system of capitalist dragged one by one countries in the world to have the same shaft. Yes, we realize it or not.
One of the most striking is the United States that serves as donors of the world economy. Look, any country experiencing financial problems in the country will be "assisted" by the United States, including Indonesia.
The implication, which helped the country, will have a high dependence and a debt of gratitude to the donors. And indirectly, the effect is to make the state assisted with the flow of donor countries which in this case is the United States.
Monetary Crisis in U.S. Economy
clearly we can say, that the United States has a strong economic defense. With the economic system of the United States has now, the United States emerged as "lion" of the world that could never die.
However, what happens?
Like an anomaly, in 2008, the United States was experiencing economic collapse. U.S. superpower he suffered in the economic crisis. It's unbelievable, but that's the reality.
At the start of the policies of President Bush, who was still in power, who mindlessly spending state budget for an all-out blitz Iraq. As a result, the budget ballooned.
In the same time turned out to foreign trade deficit. Both conditions are exacerbated by the devastation in the housing / real estate business, capital markets, and financial institutions.
Like a domino effect that reacts quickly, failures in different fields spread to all areas of life in the United States. In the end the United States a global crisis that crippled all sorts of aspects of life.
Large expenditures to finance the war and the U.S. military were not followed by adequate income countries. Until the U.S. government forced the Bush era to the Obama seek inclusion of non-economic sectors. That foreign debt debenture shall be established in the country or we call the bond. Now the amount of debt the United States is a little more than that amount to about 150 thousand trillion rupiah. A very large number for a country that is experiencing economic downturn.
The biggest mistake of the force of the U.S. economy right now is to start the real sector. Most real sector businesses play in the stock and foreign exchange very draining funds that should have been in the real economy. So that funds for the establishment and development efforts to a standstill. As a result, businesses or enterprises that can absorb a lot of labor are few.
Unemployment rose, crime like endless, abandoned children, and the most miserable of other countries in the world were also affected by the impact. Especially countries that also mimics the U.S. economic system. Just as Indonesia's economic crisis as well. Many small and medium businesses forced to close due to lack of support from the government.
Difficult economic times make people having trouble finding work. The lack of employment opportunities employment a major factor in the increasing number of unemployed in the country. The situation is more difficult when the government has to establish cross-border economic cooperation with the signing of AFTA. Thus causing the condition of small business will run over the entry of the goods or services of foreign products into the domestic market.
When you have this, we still say that the economic system of the United States that the capitalist is able to provide intelligent solutions for the welfare of the American public in particular and the world at large? Especially in the long run? Um ... we'll see.
Hopefully this article about the U.S. economy can open our insights about the economic history of the world.
